Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Prime rib roast (bone-in)
- 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary
- 2 tbsp Fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and allow the prime rib roast to come to room temperature for about 1 hour prior to cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create your herb rub.
In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, and softened butter until smooth.
Pat the prime rib roast dry with paper towels. Gently score the fat cap with a knife in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Rub the olive oil, mustard, and butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
Sprinkle the prepared herb rub generously over the roast, pressing it gently to adhere to the surface.
Place the roast on a rack inside a roasting pan, bone side down. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding the bone.
Roast at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the thermometer reads 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare doneness.
Remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carve the prime rib roast into thick slices and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite accompaniments for a complete meal.
